INTRODUCTION.
t

HE amount of valuable information which is now
being placed in the hands of the student of
history and genealogy through the medium of
the Reports of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records is
so vast, that, to make the fullest use of it, the material
requires to be classified and exhaustively indexed. The
object therefore, of the present volume has been to collect
and index all the Depositions taken by Commission which
refer to the Counties of Lancaster and Chester.

A Calendar of these Depositions for the whole of
England and Wales, from Elizabeth to George II., is printed
in the following Reports of the Deputy Keeper : xxxviii.
Appendix pp. 150-775 (Elizabeth and James I.); xxxix.
Appendix pp. 307-531 (Charles I.); xl. Appendix pp. 1-466
(Commonwealth, Charles II. and James II.); xli. Appendix
1-670 (William and Mary, Anne, and George I.); and
xlii. Appendix pp. 1-312 (George II.).

From these Reports the matter in this volume has been
brought together. Each deposition is given with the regnal
year, term and number, the names of the plaintiffs and
defendants, a short abstract of its contents, including the
principal names and places mentioned, together with the
place where the deposition was taken.

The original documents are preserved in portfolios in
the Public Record Office, and are mostly written on parch-
ment ; each set being filed separately. The entire series

vi Introduction.

extends from the first year of Elizabeth down to the year
1841, when by Statute 5 Victoria, c. 5, the jurisdiction of
the Court of Exchequer as a Court of Equity was trans-
ferred to the Court of Chancery. No Calendar of the
Depositions for the reign of George III. has as yet been
printed, but a MS. Calendar, in three volumes, is now placed
in the Legal Search Room at the Public Record Office.
The remaining Depositions, namely those down to 1841,
are in course of being calendared.

As a contrast to the present state and accessibility of
these public records, it may be of interest to the antiquary
to have a glimpse of their condition about half a century
ago. In the Return 1 of Mr. Henry Vincent, the King's
Remembrancer, to the Commissioners on Public Records,
printed in a folio volume, date 1837;* he states :

1 found that the books and records of the Exchequer, instead of being
collected in one solid, substantial, dry, and well-watched building, commo-
dious for reference, and hourly accessible (within certain limits of time) to the
public, subject to the control and guardianship of one responsible official
individual, who might make himself master of their character and tendencies,
and take measures both for their safety and general utility, were scattered in
various places and various custodies, at various distances, and with various
pretensions. Some were kept by the first Secondary, some by the second,
some by the King's Remembrancer himself, at his Chambers. Some were
supposed to be in the keeping of individuals, some to be missing altogether,
some were at Westminster, some in the Temple, most in places exceedingly
ill adapted for their preservation and security, and inaccessible for the most
part to the public, without great trouble, difficulty and expense. I found that
by far the largest portion of them had, in 1822, been moved from buildings
which were to be removed to facilitate the erection of the Courts of Law,
without order, without specific authority, without superintendence or care,
without any official cognizance that I have been able to trace, or any provision
for the service being vigilantly or even honestly performed, into a flimsy
erection of deal boards in Westminster Hall, destitute of space or power of
arrangement, and, at the time of my first visit to it, dark, damp, and almost
pestilential.

Introduction. vii

Farther on he remarks :

In 1830 I took advantage of the expected coronation, and the consequent
necessity of removing the obnoxious shed from Westminster Hall, again to
press earnestly upon the attention of the Treasury the propriety of having that
removal conducted with some more attention to authority, order and security
than had been exhibited on a former occasion ; of taking the opportunity to
subject a large portion at least of the buried contents of the slight and wooden
sepulchre to some process of purification and arrangement, to enable me to
deposit them in some more safe, spacious, and accessible quarter, and to
authorise me to incur an expense sufficient to have the service performed under
capable and official superintendence of persons responsible for the result.
After repeated correspondence and conversations on the subject, I was enabled
partially to accomplish that desirable object. By the assistance of Sir
Benjamin Stephenson, the then Surveyor General of the Board of Works, I
procured to be set apart and prepared for their reception a large and commo-
dious space in the King's Mews ; and with the sanction of the Treasury, who
referred the selection to me, I appointed Mr. Vanderzee, who had in 1793
been engaged in a similar service, to superintend the transport and arrange-
ment of these records, which five months were barely sufficient to complete ;
and it is very much owing to the efficient manner in which Mr. Vanderzee, in
conjunction with Mr. Adlington, performed the service, that this immense
portion of the records are in as good a state as they are, and that those gentle-
men have been enabled to make the enclosed communication.

Still, the general evils which affect the condition of these records and
their custody remain. A large part are yet unarranged, and by far the major
portion of the whole are destitute of proper calendars and indexes.

In his Appendix of Answers to the Commissioners,
Mr. Vincent thus alludes to the documents more especially
connected with those noticed in the present volume :

ENGLISH INFORMATIONS, BILLS, ANSWERS, DEPOSITIONS AND
EXAMINATIONS.

The English Informations are in the name of the Attorney-General for
the time being, on behalf of His Majesty, relating to his revenue, and some-
times at the relation of private persons, on account of charities and other
public trusts and uses ; and the English Bills are other proceedings in equity
between subject and subject.

Answers, Depositions, and Examinations are the further proceedings
thereon.

Of the English Informations and Bills, entries are made in books called
" Bill Books," in counties, containing the number as marked on each English
Information and Bill, together with the names of the parties, plaintiffs and

viii Introduction.

defendants. These proceedings are filed by the clerks in court for the plain-
tiffs, and begin in the first year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and are
continued to the present reign and year. They are filed, with the answers
and pleadings, in parchment covers, called Forrels, each cover containing
formerly one hundred bills, but lately from one to fifty, and from fifty to one
hundred; on the outside whereof is endorsed the county, the year of the
King's or Queen's reign, and the number of the first information or bill on
each file.

The Commissions to examine witnesses and depositions taken thereupon,
when returned into Court, are delivered to the junior sworn clerk, who enters
in a book, entitled "The Book of the Returns of Commissions," the county,
and the names of the plaintiffs and defendants, and the number of schedules
annexed to each Commission : and when publication has passed the Com-
mission, and depositions are delivered out by him to be copied, and afterwards
they were filed in parchment covers, each cover being endorsed with the terms
and years of the King's or- Queen's reign in which the depositions therein
contained were taken.

Examination of parties and witnesses taken under a decree or order of
the Court are, when returned, entered and filed in the same manner as the
depositions before mentioned.

But how far these records were available to the record
student may be gleaned from the following :

Neither the Memoranda, English Informations and English Bills, Special
Commissions, nor the Orders and Decrees of the Court, have Indexes
Locorum, Virorum, et Rerum. It may indeed be stated, that there is a total
want of the necessary calendars and indexes to those records which are
arranged, and that there are none of any sort which are complete.

Still, there were some rough manuscript guides :

Of the Special Commissions, and Commissions to examine witnesses,
entries are made in parchment books, called Commission Books, of which
there are eighteen, commencing in the fifth year of Queen Elizabeth, and
continued to the present time. The entries show the county, term, and year
in which each commission was returned, and the number of schedules annexed
thereto, the names of the parties, plaintiffs and defendants, on whose behalf,
and the name of the first Commissioner mentioned in the writ. Some of
these books have been newly bound since the year 1800.

But Mr. Vincent's final verdict on their value was hardly
encouraging :

None of these Calendars are correct, nor could they be made so, to be
useful to the public as Indexes Virorum, Locorum, et Rerum; and to make

Introduction, ix

such indexes would be a most laborious service after the records are cleaned,
repaired, and properly digested and methodized ; and to state the time it
would require to make such indexes, and the number of hands to be employed,
could not be done with the least accuracy until the work has been begun, and
considerable progress made in it.

After perusing the foregoing, the antiquary of the
present day will more fully appreciate the value of the
laborious official work by means of which I have been
enabled to prepare for the Record Society a volume which
makes a still further advance in saving the labour of the
student of our ancient national manuscripts.

The Depositions referred to in this volume abound
with curious and useful information, of great value to the
legal as well as to the topographical inquirer. When
received into the hands of the Master of the Rolls they
were, as the extracts given above too plainly show, in
a state of great confusion. They have, however, now been
brought together from the various boxes, chests, and bags
in which they were scattered, sorted into reigns, arranged,
dated, ticketed, placed in portfolios, and a great many
membranes cleaned and flattened, whilst others have
undergone thorough repair.

As might be supposed their contents are of the most
varied character. Inter alia, they relate to disputes con-
nected with tithes, fines, rents, customs, distresses for rent
due, receipts of import customs on ale, beer, wines, &c. ;
the duty on salt, malt, &c. ; rights of way, inheritance, and
common rights ; the titles to lands ; disputes as to the
administration of estates ; agreements, bargains, sales, and
claims ; grants of lands ; rights to seats in churches ;
the values of churches, rectories, and manors ; waste and
spoil of lands ; evasion of dues ; sales of public offices ;
and mortgages, surveys, and boundaries. Amongst minor
subjects referred to, are : tanned leather ; breach of bargain

x Introduction.

to repair ships ; lovers' " tokens of kindness ;" butchers',
bakers', grocers', milliners', and other bills; the delivery
of Milford oats in lieu of Lancashire oats ; lands given
" for superstitous uses ;" disputes as to the application
of the name " common badger ;" " notice to conveigh
away a priest," when search was made for him ; marriages
and marriage portions ; marriages of apprentices before
fulfilment of articles ; loss of money bags, and so forth.

The following may be taken as a good example of
the kind of information to be derived from a single file
of Depositions :
